Focus on Resilient: If you are installing on concrete, get the hard facts
Among the many questions we get from NFT
readers, there always seems to be a few regarding commercial flooring and the
concrete that lies beneath. Specifically, installers and others in the trade
wonder about the downside risk of installing resilient flooring on a substrate
that has not been adequately prepared. They wonder about the effect on the
resilient flooring products and adhesives. They ask what to look for and how to
avoid costly claims. They say it is a persistent issue-particularly as more
dealers look to the commercial market to offset sluggishness on the residential
side. With this in mind I put together some of the more frequent concerns and
how to cope with them. I would like to share this with our readers.
